However, the falling global defense budgets could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are AgustaWestland NV, Bell Helicopter Textron Inc., Eurocopter, and Sikorsky Aircraft Corp. Other vendors mentioned in the report are Russian Helicopters, JSC, NH Industries, The Boeing Co., and Korea Aerospace Industries Ltd. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: High-altitude rotorcraft are used to fly at a range above 15,000 kilometers from sea level; the market will witness an increasing demand for these types of rotorcraft in the next few years.

According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the increasing demand for military rotorcraft in the APAC region.
